It's a bit hard to claim this as proof of swales working on flat land when you are catching water off that large roof and the run off from the road. It seems to me, these are the significant sources of water that have been caught. Either way, it's still a nice looking swale :)﻿

The G+ travel community we created when G+ communities were just getting started now has 22,000 members. Unfortunately moderating it to the level we wanted was just not feasible, so it's filled with fairly spammy posts. Sad state of affairs really, but the tools for community management are just not strong enough on G+

Is it worth doubling down and trying to make something out of it?

Is anyone getting real value from running communities on G+ ?﻿

Somehow Paul Sheehan claims the GFC was not a financial crisis and what we have now is. This despite a virtually unanimous view from economists that a) The Labor government handled the GFC very well (and it was a genuine crisis) and b) we do not currently have a crisis.

But then, this government does not seem to believe in the opinion of experts. ﻿

Apparently I'm not allowed to whine about Google not ranking us well enough. But screw that.

Have a look at this list of results (a couple pages back) for "top travel photos 2013"

And here is our own list of top travel photos which I clearly think should rank ahead of all these, even if we aren't on the front page: http://www.travellerspoint.com/community/photography/the-top-travel-photos-of-2013/

Apart from a broken algorithm, can you provide any valid reason as to why Google should be ranking these copycats ahead of us? ﻿
